Me, I'd say that "there are no games I want to play" is a big enough issue to outweigh pretty much any problems PC gaming has, but maybe I'm just weird. ParanoidObsessive posted... It's also not helped by the fact that after years of mainly gaming on console, my standards for games have gotten unrealistically high, so the jank and weaker graphics of most PC indie games tend to detract from the experience for me. Most PC indie games are substantially less janky and look a lot better than Minecraft, which you obviously like, so this sounds like you're just making up excuses to avoid changing your mind. ParanoidObsessive posted... If I was ever going to switch to PC gaming to a serious degree (which I almost certainly never will), it would almost have to be through a service like GoG or via digital five-finger discount. But even that's not all that appealing to me. You can run GoG or Yoho games on a Steam Deck easily enough (though it's not like Steam's DRM properties are any worse than what restricts every single console, and that's the primary benefit GoG offers over Steam). The latter takes some more hoops, as it always does, but GoG ones aren't too crazy to set up and require pretty much no further work once you get them there. Plug it into a TV and connect your controller of choice, and you've got a console with a PC library. ParanoidObsessive posted... I just have a deep-seated, visceral dislike for PC gaming. That's really a terribly silly way to approach any platform. ParanoidObsessive posted... No, because "a few worthwhile indie game gems" do not justify the failings of an entire massive multi-million dollar industry. When everyone else can find something fun to play and you can't, that does suggest that the problem is with you, especially when you've got a "deep-seated, visceral dislike" preventing you from accessing games that might appeal to you. That's not to say the industry doesn't have its failings, because hoo boy does it have its failings, but being unable to produce enjoyable games is not one of them and likely never will be. You just have to be a little flexible and recognize that the publishers and platforms you've historically enjoyed might not stay that way indefinitely. --- This is my signature.
